ABSTRACT

Rationale: Excessive body weight and obesity have become an important health problem in Cuba. Women in bearing age could be exposed to an obesogenic environment eventually affecting their health status, and the health of the product of conception. Objective: To estimate the behavior of excessive body weight among child-bearing age women living in the community without restrictions. Study design: Cross-sectional, analytical. Study serie: One hundred and nineteen women with ages between 18–39 years living without restrictions in the ward of Santa Fe, county of Playa, Havana city (Cuba). Material and method: Associations between Body Mass Index (BMI) and waist circumference (WC) with life conditions and life styles (Alcoholism/Tobacco use/Physical activity) of surveyed women were assessed. Results: Forty-eight point eight percent of women presented with BMI ≥ 25.0 Kg.m-2. Observed frequency of obesity was 19.5%. Thirty-four point five percent of women showed WC › 80.0 cm. Anthropometric variables were independent from life conditions and life styles of women. Conclusions: Global|central adiposity of bearing-age women are independent from life conditions and life styles.
